i desire

he finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. and when these longings and desires that manifest themselves in me begin to pull me towards earthly pleasures, i long to then see jesus. to see those wants (those reflections of my emptiness) and instead of squashing them, shoving them away or ignoring them--to fan those flames to life! I DESIRE, DESIRE, DESIRE! i AM lacking, i AM wanting, i AM incomplete! i recognize this not too much, but too little! and as i see my desires grow stronger (as my view of my brokenness grows) i will focus my hope on christ; i will go to that well to drink from. when i recognize i do have needs (huge ones) and that jesus alone can overwhelmingly satisfy them, i will run not to ... but to jesus.

you are all i need and let me never stop remembering.
